[ He does need to hear it. Not out of any desire to make Remus beg or boldly admit to his own dark desires and needs. (Though, of course, those are things he wants to hear as well. Very well might hear, loudly, before the night's over.) But because if they're going to do this, they're going to do this carefully and the right way.
There's no safe word that Magnus can think of that would break through the spell. He can only take assurance from his own sense of what's right and good (which he trusts) and the fact that Remus won't be acting against his own will. If there are hard limits, if Magnus pushes up against them, Remus won't obey. And he'll know to back off.
It makes it simpler, in a way. No prevaricating, no lies told to make the other feel better. Just straightforward desire.
Now he kisses Remus, kisses him with hands moving up to cradle his face, holds him to a kiss that's deep and sensual and goes on for a minute before Magnus pulls away.
He murmurs a few words under his breath and then a pale blue mist wafts over Remus' face, all but forcing him to breath in the magic and then... let go. ]
